Aghdam's father, Ismail Aghdam, said his daughter told her family just a few weeks ago that she was "angry" with YouTube because she believed it was censoring her videos and had stopped paying her for her content. Ismail Aghdam made the comments in an interview Tuesday night with the Bay Area News Group.

Ismail Aghdam said in the interview that prior to the shooting the family had reported his daughter missing in Southern California and informed police she might be going to YouTube because she "hated" the company. He said hours before his daughter caused an afternoon of terror in San Bruno, the family received a phone call from police saying she had been located asleep in her car and everything was "under control."

...

In an Instagram post dated March 18, Aghdam claims that all her YouTube "channels got filtered by youtube so my videos hardly get views ... This is the peaceful tactic used on the internet to censor and suppress people who speak the truth and are not good for the financial, political … gains of the system and big businesses."

Aghdam described herself on her Instagram account as "Athlete Artist Comedian Poet Model Singer Host Actor Director Producer" and the videos she made appear to mix satire and dark humor to rail against authority, capitalism and popular culture. She posted videos in English, Turkish and Farsi, the official language of Iran.

1. This person seems to have been more than a tad disturbed

Does not look like a domestic dispute as initial reports indicated.

2. She doesn't like capitalism and popular culture

and is angry she isn't getting paid for her videos on Youtube.

3. This was something I could picture Alex Jones doing

I'm curious how the nutbag will cover this nutbag?

5. Will people acknowledge that Middle Eastern people can have mental illness?

or will they claim she has a political agenda?

BBC reported that she's a short haired vegan bodybuilder. Breitbart claims she wears a headscarf and long sleeves, which is not the case in any of the photos other news outlets have shown of her but is consistent with white nationalist beliefs of Breitbart.

6. I don't see any political agenda

Her dad seemed extremely normal, and radicalism is often (not always) taught at home.

She struck me as a complete loon: eating meat is murder, but killing people is not? Please.

I had some distant dealings with a family lawyer whose brother-in-law(? in-law of some kind) made some sort of living posting videos on youtube about Japanese comics. He (the poster, not my lawyer) killed his entire nuclear family.

Something about the desperate need to be seen and approved on the Internet is not healthy, mentally.

7. She definitely seems to fall into the disturbed category!! nt
